'''Skye Frostpaw''', also known as '''Skye Tigerauge''' in [[Second Life]], (born February 21, 1989)<ref>[https://www.weasyl.com/profile/skye Skye Frostpaw's profile] on [[Weasyl]]. Retrieved May16, 2013.</ref> is a [[furry artist]] and [[fursuiter]] born in [[W:Youngstown, Ohio|Youngstown, Ohio]], USA.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/frostbutt Skye Frostpaw's profile] on [[facebook]]. Retrieved May 16, 2013.</ref>

Skye Frostpaw moved to central New York to live with her mate [[Angus Shire]] for a year before returning to Ohio once more and trying to finish her degree in Psychology. Skye and Angus married on March 27, 2013. Angus is currently active duty for the [[W:United States Army|United States Army]], making Skye an army wife.

== Fandom involvement ==

Skye Frostpaw's name was actually created at random, there is no real meaning behind the name other than the fact that it's a more usual name. Her [[fur]] is actually white because of the lack of grey colored pencils during her creation.

=== Fursona ===

Skye Frostpaw's [[fursona]] is a [[female]] [[snow leopard]], with white fur, a grey belly and blue hair. Her [[tail]] is her pride and joy and is often used as a pillow.

In 2008, Skye was introduced to the furry community via [[NEOfurs]]. There she met many friends and started creating a name for herself. NEOfurs is also where Skye was introduced to her baby brother, [[Eleete_Frostpaw]], another snow leopard in northeastern Ohio.

They only lived roughly twenty minutes away from each other and soon grew very close, almost inseparable. During a gaming meet, Skye and Eleete came up with the last name Frostpaw together.

=== Fursuit ===

Skye Frostpaw's current [[fursuit]] was created in December 2008 by [[Media Skunk]],<ref>[http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7861581/ Skye Frostpaw v1.0] posted to Skye's DruidicFae account on 2012 April 26. Retrieved 2017 May 24.</ref> and delivered in April 2009. The suit is a [[full suit]] made of [http://www.montereymills.com Monterey Mills]' White Fox Fur with an airbrushed grey belly. Her tail is removable, making it possible to wear as a [[partial suit]]. The [[W:Rosette (zoology)|rosettes]] on Skye's suit are hand sewn and only cover her thighs and shoulders.

Skye suffers from [[W:Crohn's disease|Crohn's disease]], which limits her fursuit time.

=== Convention attendance ===

* [[Anthrocon]] - 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013
* [[Furry Connection North]] - 2009, 2010, 2011
* [[Midwest Fur Fest]] - 2012
* [[Morphicon]] - 2009, 2010
* [[Texas Furry Fiesta]] - 2014

== Hobbies/interests ==

Aside from attending [[convention]]s and drawing [[furry art]]. Skye is a [[musician|percussionist]] and loves listening to marching bands. She was [[W:Snare drum|head snare]] in her high school marching band and even went on to play cymbals for [[W:BGSU|Bowling Green State University]]'s Falcon Marching Band in 2007.

During her high school years, Skye was actually an avid member of her [[W:4-H club|4-H club]] and bred rabbits to show and sell. She specialized in Netherland Dwarves and [[W:French Lop|French Lop]]s. (It is said that her French Lop 'character', Sugar, is based off of her first [[rabbit]]. Which was a French Lop named '''Sugar''').

Were

'''Were''' is a general term used as a prefix to indicate a type of [[shapeshifter]], in relation to the mainstream concept of [[therianthropy]] (e.g. [[werewolf|werewolves]], [[werecat]]s, etc).

== Were and furry ==

In the [[furry fandom]], "were" is a colloquial term to describe both [[furry fan|fans]] of were[[animal]]s and [[therian]]s.{{cn}} Were interest overlaps both the [[furry fandom|furry]] and [[transformation]] [[fandom]]s, combining aspects of both; people who call themselves '''weres''' may{{clarify}} also be fans of these other genres.

Unlike [[furry]] [[character]]s, "were[[animal]]s" are generally more [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bestial#Adjective bestial] and feral in behavior, usually controlled more by animal [[W:Instinct|instinct]] and impulses rather than intellect, often to violent results.{{clarify}}{{cn}}

=== History ===

In the late 1990s, were fans originally gathered in the [[Usenet]]'s [[newsgroup]], [[alt.horror.werewolves]], to discuss their interest in werewolves and other shapeshifting or [[human]]oid animals from horror and mythology.{{cn}}

As time passed, three distinctive groups formed:{{clarify}}{{cn}}

* Fans of horror werewolves and other wereanimals.
* People who liked roleplaying werewolves and wereanimals.
* People who felt a personal, spiritual connection with werewolves or wereanimals. Eventually this faction became their own group.{{clarify}}{{cn}}

=== Views and community ===

Though originally a [[W:Horror|horror]] sub-fandom,{{clarify}} not all{{who}} weres are horror fans. Some{{who}} prefer to see werewolves (and other wereanimals) as more natural creatures,{{clarify}}{{cn}} which aren't inherently violent or horrific, so that any violent actions they take are a return to a wild state of being.{{clarify}}{{cn}} Were-fandom has a significant [[W:Environmentalist|environmentalist]] streak because of this.{{cn}}

They enjoy the company of other like-minded weres, and sometimes [[furmeet|meet]] at [[howls]] to commune with nature.{{cn}}

== Art ==

Weres are generally interested less in [[anthropomorphic]] styled art than semi-[[human]] animals;{{clarify}} much of were art is either based on wildlife painting styles, or roleplaying game styles.{{cn}} '''Were-art''' has become a term and style in and of itself in the furry fandom.{{cn}}
